Over the next days, Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid kept checking on Ye Xiaolu. But with Li Mo going as Arcane and Su Daji a resident of this world, all their efforts were for naught.
While the two were staking out Ye Xiaolu, Li Mo learned plenty from their conversation with Head Huang.
Their team was called China division, but instead of Chairman Lei Tian as their boss, they answered to Head Huang.
Thunderstruck Enterprise found the entrance to the Investiture of the Gods world five years ago and entered a year later. Head Huang, in lead of 1500 men, had them scattered throughout the world. After so many years, they finally showed results, with Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid showing their power in Green Water Palace like the other dozen men in different areas.
Having no idea where Chief Huang was hiding, their only means of contact was through a cellphone.
Both Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid were homesick. The first was thirty, and the latter close to fifty. Their daily talks included a healthy dose of family-related topics. Each request to return was shot down by Head Huang on the spot.
“No one goes home until the mission is finished!” Head Huang put his foot down.
“Ye Xiaolu’s identity is confirmed, as her two companions. That Arcane youth is China’s Li Mo. He is Experts Alliance’s vice-chief. You are not to engage him unless as last resort!”
“Arcane is Li Mo? Is he that great?”
“Forget about him and focus on getting every year into top ten to receive the best reward.
“Leave Li Mo for the organization to handle.” Head Huang spoke flatly.
“Understood!”
Li Mo listened from outside with a frown.
How easy Head Huang found about him caught him by surprise.
But this was also an important clue.
With how quick Head Huang found out, he must have a serious pull in the real world.
Li Mo used the Staff of Origin to go to Jade Lake Club and ask Ah Cai to look into ‘Old Bean’ and ‘Heart-breaker Kid’ and ‘Head Huang’.
Although she and her chicks were by no means weak, they fell short to the likes of Yao Changsheng and Zhou Mengxian. But what they lacked in strength, they made up in intelligence.
Ten days later, Ah Cai brought her report.
Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid were just your average Thunderstruck Enterprise lackeys. Because of their special constitutions, Huang Tianxiong recruited them as secretaries. Word had it the two were working abroad for three years now.
Head Huang, or Huang Tianxiong, was the boss of the China division of Tian Xiong Entertainment Inc. At first glance, it didn’t seem to have any ties with Thunderstruck Enterprise.
“Old Bean’s real name is Ma Tiehan, and Heart-breaker’s is Qian Wenxin. Ma Tiehan has a pretty and young wife that plays as Huang Tianxiong’s mistress. Qian Wenxin has an 18 year old daughter that Huang Tianxiong is ready to put the moves on. “
Ah Cai’s report was quite thorough, not limited to just facts, but pictures as well. Of Ma Tiehan’s wife and Huang Tianxiong as they entered a hotel.
Li Mo said, “He sure is something. His man braves death for him yet he…”
“Huang Tianxiong is a depraved and lecherous bastard. His son, Huang Feng is even worse, but thanks to his special constitution, the more he does it the stronger he gets…”
Ah Cai blushed.
Li Mo said, “He must have the Pristine Yang Physique.
“Pristine Yang Physique is stronger than even Sacred Light Physique. It is among the strongest in the universe, hailed as one of the top ten constitutions of old.”
“Taking Pristine Yang Physique to extreme will bring it to completion. Using it on women like Huang Feng is such a waste. Provided he reined in his vices, he’d uplift his pristine yang to that of a true immortal.”
Li Mo took the photo of Ma Tiehan’s wife and Huang Tianxiong.
“Also, Huang Tianxiong has two notable bodyguards. They are the two men in black on either side of him.“
The guys looked tough and intimidating, two meters tall even. But looking closer at their short hair, Li Mo found something amiss.
“They used to be monks. You can still notice the dots on their heads.”
Ah Cai praised him, “Lord is so astute.”
“Huang Tianxiong’s men are almost all in the Investiture of the Gods world. They must have a plan in mind to lay lo for so long. And to deal with me, the odds of using the forces from that world are slim. That makes these two monks the likeliest choice to be sent after me.
“The only unknown in all of this is when they’ll strike.”
“Isn’t now good enough?”
A cold voice answered Li Mo.
Li Mo rushed to the source.
On the top floor of Jade Lake Club building, two men in black stood.
“Li Mo, Arcane Li, don’t get too cocky now that you made a slight name for yourself in China’s expert world. There are many others above you in this world!”
A bodyguard lifted his hand and a power bore down on Li Mo’s shoulder.
It was the same attack the giant queen used, albeit thousands of times weaker.
Li Mo strolled towards him.
“You sure have a keen nose on you, retired monk, to smell out my location.”
The bodyguard’s face sank.
The two found Li Mo thanks to this bodyguard that had a ten thousand times sharper nose than even a dog’s. It was his gift. With such a nose, he could smell the target’s exact position on a planet.
“I have a heavy dislike for such abilities. You heard far too many of my secrets. You must die.”
The bodyguard cried, “How are you still moving under my Dragon’s Advent Art? Y-you broke through the fifth level?”
“I have, but on Earth, I am still a peak fifth level.”
“That’s even more ludicrous. A peak fifth level has no way of resisting Dragon’s Advent Art!”
“The world is filled with things beyond your comprehension. Try not to think to highly of Dragon’s Advent Art!”
Li Mo punched with both arms.
The two bodyguards exploded.
